Re: [8023-10GEPON] [PMD Naming Conventions] Proposal for Simplex PMD Names
Dear Wael,
I would tend to agree with Duane in this choice. The only supported data rates in the future 802.3av will be based on the multiples of 1000 Mbit/s thus it is pointless and impractical from the user point of view to see all the trailing zeros. I would agree to have them cut and use the 1G/10G designators ... Otherwise strange naming constructs will be present, namely 10G/10G-1000BASE or 10G/10G/1000BASE quoted by Duane. I think that if we can simplify the naming conventions, we should do that for the sake of clarity and simplicity ...
Best wishes and thank You for Your input

Wael,
Only to provide a shorter crisper naming convention. Also I think it is
more intuitive if all the rate fields are in the same base (how would
10G/1000BASE look much less 10G/10G/1000BASE) ?
Thanks for the input.
Duane
